THE WITHDRAWN LANDS.

Secretary Lamar Receives Answers from ali
Land Grant Railroads Named in his Order
WASHINGTON, June 27.-Ihe secretary of
the interior has received answers from
all land grant railroads named in his rule
dated May %, 1887 requiring them to
show cause why the several orders of
withdrawal from settlement of lands
within their indemnity limits should not
be revoked and the lands embraced there
in restored to settlement. The st.
Paul and Sioux City railroad com
pany in its answer takes the po-
sition that it is beyond the jurisdiction
of the secretary of the interior rs the
law stands to restore to settlement any
lands within the indemnity limits of that
company; certainly not until the grant
shall first have been finally ad
justed. 1t holds that so far
as the indemnity lands are
concerned, the acts of 81, 6J and 80 be-
lug in pari matena, the last two amenda
tory of the earlier grant, and all operat-
ing upon precisely the same subject
matter, stand and must be construed as
one enactment and into that
enactment, in its entirety
is incorporated the provision on which
congress saw fit TO enact the seventh sec
tion of the act of March 3, 1861, viz: di-
rectjon to the secretary of the interior to
withdraw from the market lands embraced
by the provisions of the act, and hence it
follows that the withdrawal of all in
demnity lands lying within twenty miles
of the line of road was q Legislative
withdrawal; that when the secretary OF
the interior issued The necessary execU-
tive administrative order to carry
that withdrawal into effect he
had exhausted all the powers of the land
department over the subject matters;
that as the public lands of the United
States are only disposable ur der the di-
rection of congress, it requires legisla-
tion by that body before it's enactment
dedicating the lands in question to this
particular purpose, can be repealed, mod
flied Or set aside; and that congress not
having repealed lis legisla ion with re-
spect to the grant, any attempt on the
part of an executive officer, by way of
revocation of the act of his predecessors
is in direct opposition TO the expressed
direction of congress.

MARsHFIELD, Wis, June IA fire
started in Upham's lumber yard at noon
to-day, and wiped out the entire business
portion of the city, including Upham's
plant consisting of a flour mill, grain
elevator, saw mill, planning mill and fur
riture, and the Evener factory. All the
business places are gone except one store;
five business blocks and many residences
are entirely wiped cut of existence.
About 1,5oo people are without shelter
and food, and are very badly i'll need.
The scene beggars description. The loss
will aggregate nearly million dollars.
1t is impossible to give any particulars in
regard to insurance as yet. The fro is
fully under control now. Three ohildrcn
were suffocated in the fire.
Further ParticularSlof thc.CauSe and Result OF
the Fire.
MILWAUKEE, June PA fro almost
swept the town of Marshiield out of ex-
istenoe this afternoon, and 1000 people
are homeless. The loss is not less then
Sl,000,000. All communication by wire
is cut off and it is almost impossible to
learn any particulars. Locomotive
sparks started the blaze at noon i'll the
lumber yard of the Upham furniture fac
tory, and it rapidly developed into
roaring fire, and spread. Insufficient fire
protection facilities prevented any re
sistance to the flames and soon several
tiourjshing factories and business blocks
along Main street and adjoining resi-
dences wero wrapped in flames. People
gathered such household effects as they
could and fled TO the woods. The heat
was SO intense that $500 feet of Wiscon-
sin Central track, which runs through the
town, was bent and twisted into tho most
grotesque shapes. Travel cannot be re
sumed, on this account, until to morrow.

place, but the fire was beyond all control.
But one store and few half-burned
houses remained of the flourishing town.
Many people were transferred by specials
to neignSoring towns, and others are
camped on the outskirts of the town. The
insurance is small.
1t is impossible to obtain detailed par
ticulars OF the fire tonight. The meagre
accounts received of it come from the
neighboring towns, whose hospitality has
been thrown open to the two thousand
homeless inhabitaGts. But few have
availed themselves of it, however, most
of the people being housed for the night
under wagons, rudely constructed sheds,
blankets, and such household furniture
piled up, as was saved. The scene is a
pitiable one. Wearied men and depres
sed women are watching the remnants of
their homes and possessions, scattered
around in the surrounding woods which
are lit up to night by the glow that comes
from the still burning mass that coveres
acres and represented n thriving village.
So rapid was the spread of tho fire that
paratively little was seved.

PACIFIC INVESTIGATION.


''NHn'dH'f w liiht H'itN = i'N'iHVuNs
OMAHA, June 27. At to days session of
the Pacific investigating committee
Traffic Manager Kimball being asked
when no would produce n diary TO refresh
his memory regarding attendance on
legislative bodies said he did not intend
TO produce il Ms il is his private diary.
He asked for time TO make references.
ID. $. Barreger, of tho Omaha Elevator
and Grain company, said the Union
Pacific paid his company rebates
TO enable il to meet competition and be-
cause other roads paid them 10 It's com
petitors. The rebates had been two cents
per hundred at some points and six at
others. OF these the Union Pacific only
stood forty per cent, the remainder being
refunded them by the other roads in
combination with IT, His company had
for two years past received a continuous
rebate of one cent per hundred at the
Omaha transfer.
Kimball vas recalled, and testified that
G. Francis Adams was astockhOlder in the
Argentine Smelling company, of Kansas
City, but this did not help that company
any. They had had occasional debates
but did little business with the Union
Pacific. Rebates had also been givtn to
pany, with which Ex-senator Hill is con
nected, but the latter had always com
planned that the rebates were too small.
The Managers called on for Important Infor-
nation Testimony.
OMAHA, June Ir the Pacific inves-
tigation to-day Governor Pattison called
on the officers of the Union Pacific TO
IL. al
the gross sum of payments on account
of rebates pool settlements and over
charges. He gave Traffic Manager Kim
ball list OF persons to whom the Union
Pacific had paid rebates in 1885 and 1886
and demanded reasons which moved the
company to make them, whether any Of
fcer or attache of tho road or official had
any interest in the firms to which the re-
bates were paid. The sergeant at arms
of the commission reported that he was
unable TO serve sbpenas On number of
citizens of Omaha owing 10 the fact that
the parties were absent" AT this one
of the audience remarked that the peo.
pie will probably be absent" as long as
the commission is in session in Omaha.
Erastus Young, the general auditor of
the Union Pacific, was examined at great
length, "a TO the method of bookkeeping.
The reports sent to the directors at Bos-
ton did not show the gross receipts of
the company as the rebates were first de-
dscted.
Governor Pattison demanded state
ments showing the gross receipts from
1869 TO 1886, TO cover the whole system.
The witness promised that statement
would be prepared, but explained that it
would include all the money received by
the company OF which pro rata proper
ton belonged to other roads on through
freight and passenger traffic. These ac-
counts were no. kept separately.
